Mike Macdonald's leap of faith led to Seahawks head coach job | FNIA | NFL on NBC (FULL INTERVIEW)

[@Underachiefer]

This is an amazing video for us Seahawks fans .. as much as we loved Pete it was time for the new era to begin and we got a great coach leading the team! This has been a great year for Mike as far as getting a head coaching job and becoming a father. We believe in you Mike! Go Hawks! 💚💙

[@darrellwoodson7904]

Pete was definitely loved but as you said it was time for a new direction and I’m enjoying every minute of it! I saw what this guy did with the Ravens D and I wanted him as soon as they were eliminated

[@Diiixiiinormus]

@@darrellwoodson7904I was so happy we didn’t get Mike vrabel 😅

[@FrizzellSpeedShed]

Sure worked out against the packers.

[@Diiixiiinormus]

@@FrizzellSpeedShed no it didn’t

[@purplejoker7472]

As a Ravens fan, I knew he was gone after the 2023 season. Such a genuine person and was an amazing DC for us. Best of luck to Seahawks

[@DanielJerome50]

Ravens defense last year was 🔥 💪🏾

[@dwightvoeks9970]

We love him. He's following a legend but he's so chill and such a great team member. No ego at all. He's not afraid to make moves or tweaks. When they don't work he doesn't give excuses. I like him better than Carroll. He's got a great staff too.

[@darrellwoodson7904]

I live in Baltimore and I thank yall for him we needed that Pete’s time been up

[@toypianos469]

He's been great. After the Ravens beat us down he was my number 1 choice. Players were coming up to our GM asking "what just happened to us?"

[@MelonxJuice]

Your defense has struggled since he left

[@Wasted_Talent007]

"Always have your player's back", "Hit them between the eyes", "Tell them the truth with love", "Treat everyone in the building right"

[@thewarhammerguy5995]

Love to see Big Mike Mac love 💚💙

[@gregv2k]

That’s our coach. This was a great interview… You don’t realize how good an interviewer Maria is when it’s all cut up for broadcast but she’s excellent

[@briantabor9265]

So glad he’s the new seahawks coach, let’s go mike! Dynasty incoming!

[@TrampConnoisseur]

This dudes gonna get us a Bowl eventually

[@eXoticon]

At least 3.

[@bfgkaikai]

Might not have to wait long..

[@tylerd7548]

Facts. I think year 2 or 3 he makes it happen

[@bfgkaikai]

@ or this year

[@DanielJerome50]

@@tylerd7548 i agree. my question is with geno or another qb? No shade to geno at all im just curious..

[@danieldacosta4350]

In an ego fuelled world of pro sports Mike is genuinely refreshing - no ego, humble despite clear talent - stay yourself coach. Great interview.

[@hadokenexe]

It's nice to see more behind the scenes with Mike! He's done an incredible job revitalizing the Seahawks' defense. Seattle is really blessed to have Pete for a decade and then immediately land Mike Mac 🔥

[@paastahtroy]

Yah… it would be nice to SEE!!

[@DJones-uk3hg]

FR, absolutely no hate on Pete, he really got this city to not only believe but expect greatness and now that we've seen it we won't settle for anything less, much like with Russ I was a little worried to see him go because there's no guarantee the next guy's going to be better and might in fact be much worse but I feel we've made some great moves and found a lot of the right pieces that makes this team exciting to watch and a threat to the rest of the league, we've got some Dawgs on that defense that's for sure

[@AtlGaming1]

Georgia boy and he’s a mad scientist in defensive schematics. Glad he went to a good organization where he can thrive

[@johnhinkey5336]

She is a good interviewer. Great questions and presence.

[@samuelcarlson1012]

Dude I love Coach McDonald! I am excited to see how he leads this team.

[@HaloDiv]

Macdonald*

[@northof4912]

As a Seahawks fan, this was awesome to learn who our new coach is!!

[@showbear100]

That’s a cool piece. I appreciate that it was long form instead of a heavily edited interview.

[@che7293]

THIS MAN IS MY HEAD COACH !!!!!

[@Slhazzard]

The next legendary Seahawks head coach. He’s going to get us another SB for sure.

[@wadesherman-e2e]

It’s really nice to get to know Mike on a more real level. Seems like a cool dude

[@JT-lk1rv]

This was actually an amazing segment

[@youwillabayme9477]

I’m genuinely captivated by his leadership style and his distinctive charisma. It resonates deeply with me, and I’m thrilled that he’s our Head Coach!

[@Blueredgreen123]

Hey Mike if you read this us 12’s appreciate you and are glad you’re our head coach! Wish you nothing but the best. Congrats on the first born coach!

[@Hugo_M96]

Mike is our coach for a long time and that makes me happy 😃

[@royandlucy]

He’s so mindful (almost protective) speaking with the regular Seattle press, it’s so nice to see him more relaxed interacting with a familiar face 😊

[@dwightvoeks9970]

Watch The Coaches Show with Brock and Salk. He's so chill.

[@royandlucy]

@@dwightvoeks9970 @ I have listened & it sounds like he still struggles a bit- ‘stuck’ wanting to sincerely answer the questions, but w/o ‘giving away’ the inner-workings of his strategy & thinking. I think he will eventually need to learn ‘coach-speak’, (ie say a bunch of stuff w/o saying much at all). Maybe lunch w/ Coach Pete is in order this offseason 😉

[@TheeNewbeeeee]

That's our guy! Seems like an amazing coach. I'm glad he's leading the boys out the tunnel each week. Go Hawks

[@boondocsaint42]

As someone who went to high school with both of these people and played football with Mike, I couldn’t be happier for these two. Both very deserving.

[@Kellyyy44]

Wow!!!

[@kingac1868]

So genuine.. hes just what kinda head coach you need just build something special 🙌 Go Hawks!!!

[@ScottOlsen-lj9wk]

Great interview. Maria is so good, love her.

[@DeeJay83]

This is pretty cool! Glad he's our coach. Go Hawks

[@paastahtroy]

Love the fact that he quotes Jim Carrey movies!!

[@Kreditcard11]

Mikey Mac!! I love this guy, go hawks!!! 💙💚 SEA!

[@yili7322]

Thanks for the video! I feel like Coach Mike is a genuine and humble person who has great talent! Go Hawks!

[@vicenteochoa6524]

This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time. I’m so happy that Mike is our head coach it was awesome getting to know him a little bit. This man oozes intelligence and respect. He is a little bit of a goofball but I think the team and us fans love him for it. It takes a special kind of person to be a PNWer and goofy is on that checklist. That aside I’m proud of what he’s accomplished so far this season and I hope he’s around for a very very very long time. We love you Coach Mike go get this dub against the cheeseheads we will all be rooting for your success!! 💙💚GO HAWKS!!!

[@Saltyone75]

Super informative very nice to finally see and hear Coach Macs story. Excited to have him for a long long time and most importantly more championships! Go hawks!

[@northof4912]

“I’m a nerd”. “I’m a geek”. Love it! Great qualifications to be a highly successful coach!

[@SD-uu7tf]

Got a feeling Mike will be here for a while. Hopefully bring us a few Super Bowls by then. Good guy, good coach!

[@mannymartinezbustamante8571]

I'm so grateful you're with us in Seattle coach Mac! I strongly believe you'll lead us to a Superbowl 💙 💚

[@funkyflights]

Mike’s got the defense really starting to buy in, it’s cool to see, it’s been a frustrating 4-5 years defensively …

[@jayperera2851]

What humble people. You will be the best, Mike. Keep up the good work. First, as a Seattle fan, I was upset with Johan because he passed Dan Q., but now I understand why.

[@danielcappsjr.4594]

Coach Mac!

Could the production team zoom in on the photos as they’re talking?!! Hello!!!!

[@paastahtroy]

My bad….They fixed it for the on-air copy…

[@Digital-Swords]

I absolutely hated when pete got fired. But mike is a good coach. We got lucky

[@markuskoivisto]

I don’t think luck was involved.

[@andrewzavala9633]

Why did u hate it? We had like 6 average seasons and Pete didn’t wanna change nothing. It was time for change and this change is probably the most positive we could’ve had

[@darrellwoodson7904]

He’s worked under both Harbaugh’s you know he has that pedigree

[@hendawg69]

That is nnuts nil

[@davidtukesbrey1589]

He kinda reminds me of Elon. Uber smart, you can see he thinks a lot before he talks. This guy is extremely interesting; I love his style, so unique. Go Hawks.

Her… the woman interviewing him… works broadcast for Sunday Night Football

[@rooster7472]

I've never seen an interviewer disparage someone the way Maria does in this interview. Stay classy NBC

[@marked4death076]

I feel like this was unnecessary for my head coach to be forced to do, we got a game to focus on

[@liannebedard5521]

Oh,lighten up. If they aren't, set by now...

[@GhangisKham]

Is that her bf?

[@lanceallenmcginnis1105]

I am somewhat surprised. He appears timid and reserved. For an NFL coach I don’t see much charisma.

@@PillsburyDoboy Exactly!! It’s fabulous to hear about where he began! ❤️👍🏻🏈

I think the same way but this was a good interview. He’s done a decent job thus far. Could’ve been buried after Buffalo but he made this team believe. 😤
